For things that are "hmmm".
Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

I was able to find higher res photos where the numbers don't look nearly so AI. But also while doing so I found this from like 2.5 years earlier than the earliest one in question I could find:
Maybe it is a real pic that's gone through slopification?
The chair actually has a reflection in this one. Apparently this is a fairly common phenomenon? Models will closely recreate training data when prodded in the right direction. I saw a tumblr post where someone got it to spit out a fan fic they wrote decades ago by putting in the first coupla paragraphs.
That looks to be the case. Very strange.
The AC has a slop brand name on it that isn't in the original picture, "RTC tutorials." I assume this is some kind of weird ad for that YouTube channels/etc, likely a "prompt engineering" channel that is itself all slop.
On the top right it says rtc tutorials while on this it has the actual brand
Probably someone did something
I’ve seen a few normal photos passed thru AI now No idea why people are purposely introducing this evil.
